"To be understood, we must first understand"~ Stephen R. Covey

IN AN EMERGENCY If you or a loved one is in immediate danger, calling 911 and talking with police may be necessary. It is important to notify the operator if the emergency is psychiatric, substance use or involving a person having an intellectual disability and ask for an officer trained in crisis intervention.
